Regenerative Tours + Retreats

Join one of our 2026 CRAFT + CULTURE Tours to Morocco, Kenya, Portugal, or Oaxaca.

Travel like an insider and friend, support local businesses and nonprofits, learn directly from artisans and makers.

We also host FLORA + FAUNA Retreats in the Cotswolds and Paris- a curated time of learning to live with intention, creativity, and wonder.

  • “Forget what you think you know about group trips. This is different. Highly curated and intentional, this trip included beautiful stays, incredible views, delicious food, important cultural experiences, and the ability to connect with and learn from local experts and artisans. Looking forward to my next trip with A&N!”

    Jennifer Peterkin, USA

  • “ I have a new perspective of what immersive and ethical travel looks like, thanks to Kirsten’s deep connections and friendships across Morocco. I highly recommend exploring with Artist & Nomad!”

    Katrina Seidel, UK

  • “ I appreciated the thoughtful approach to travel, along with the spiritual aspect of slowing down and connecting with the culture of a new place. Kirsten has a life-long love of travel and knows how to share that knowledge”

  • Tours + Retreats

    ARTIST & NOMAD trips are curated to give you a meaningful journey that explores the intersection of Craft, Culture, Flora, and Fauna in the special places you visit. Each small group tour or retreat invites you to consider ways to practice slow living, mindfulness, and creation care in your everyday life beyond the journey itself.

    ARTIST & NOMAD journeys and retreats are designed with decades of knowledge from our work with artisans, designers, nonprofits, and social impact businesses.

    Join our mailing list to be the first know about new tours and other artisan advocacy work we do globally.

    Our 2025 tours are SOLD OUT. Our 2026 Tours will open for registration soon.

  • Design + Consulting

    ARTIST & NOMAD offers years of award-winning experience in artisan sourcing and design collaborations. With a dedication to regenerative practices that honor people and the planet, we have helped to develop artisan focused collections, transform spaces, and mentor leaders in the artisan sector.

    If you are seeking support in helping to launch or grow an impact design business, collaborate with artisans, or request our ethical design services, then we would love to connect.

    We will be opening a pop-up store on Columbia Road in East London in the fall of 2025. The store will support artisans globally and neighbors locally. Stay tuned for details and if you are in London, be sure to come see us!

  • The Artisan Fund + Film

    The ARTISAN FUND is the nonprofit arm of ARTIST & NOMAD, offering support to artisan communities around the world through mentorship, design/marketing support, visual story telling, small grants, and meaningful connections to encourage artisan ownership and empowerment. We believe partnerships should be led by the artisans, so we come alongside artisan leaders to support their dreams to grow their business, preserve traditional crafts, and thrive through direct trade opportunities.

    Our big initiative for 2025 is a documentary film explores the ethics, artistry, and equity of the global artisan sector, showcasing the beauty and importance of heritage crafts, the challenges faced by makers worldwide, and the inspiring people keeping artisan crafts alive.
